V6 Muffler/exhaust recommendations
Well, I finally got pulled over for my exhaust. I’ve been wanting to change it anyway, it’s a bit too loud, even for me. Sounds like a straight pipe but it’s actually a catback and I haven’t gutted anything. I’m not sure what brand the catback is, it was installed by the PO who I’ve lost contact with. Looks at least a decade old. I’m looking to only change out the muffler and exhaust pipes.
Do you guys have any recommendations for what muffler/pipes/tips I should replace it with? I’m not looking for anything super loud but still pretty mean, at least mean enough to hide the V6 like the current exhaust does.
I dug through some old threads but most of the videos are dead. I found a clip of the super turbo muffler from dyno max on yt that sounded pretty nice but I’m not a fan of the pipes that go with it. The current pipes on the car go straight back and have square exhaust tips that give it a look similar to the corvette. I’d like to replicate that if possible, I really like how they look. Guess I could put different pipes on it? Thanks

I have the Dynomax super turbo kit on mine. it sounds good, but I also have headers and a high flow cat. You can get the whole kit from Rock Auto for about $250.00.

Do you have a video of it running? I couldn’t find any videos of the super turbo system at idle and I am trying to find something a little easier on my neighbor’s ears.

Put the most QUIET exhaust on there you can. That will sound the best on a 6cyl

I had a borla turbo muffler with two resonators to reduce rasp on my V6 solara sounded great

Nope, that string of numbers don't help. Do you see how the random video I posted is titled "Camaro pace setters headers magnaflow cat- back exhaust 3.8 v6 ".... Well, when you uploaded your video I'm sure it had you create a title for your video, what is the title you gave it?

Re: V6 Muffler/exhaust recommendations
I'd ask around your local area for an independent shop that does good work. Usually get just what you want for reasonable money, done right. Around here $200 will get a really good system with custom tips. On my S10 with the 2.8 V6 I got a Dynomax Super Turbo setup and did not like the sound at all. Got a new Walker stock type replacement muffler and it''s perfect.
